Michael Pollan discusses his new book How To Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence. Pollan explains his research into how LSD and psilocybin (the active ingredient in psychedelic mushrooms) are being used to provide relief to people suffering from depression, addiction and anxiety. He also takes a dive deep into both the latest brain science and the thriving underground community of psychedelic therapists. This book blends science, memoir, travel writing, history, and medicine to create an exciting example of participatory journalism. This segment is guest hosted by Kai Wright.
